PGP
The two year full-time Post Graduate Programme (PGP) is the flagship
programme of IIMU. The course is designed to be a transformational
experience for students, developing them into socially responsible and
highly skilled managers well launched on the path to leading any
global organisation towards excellence. The Programme lasts two
years over six terms with a compulsory Corporate Internship at the
end of the 1st year and students earn a Post Graduate Diploma in
Management.

Five key elements drive the PGP programme:

Global Best Practices
PGP provides a solid foundation in management
theory and practice equal in quality to the best
management programmes in India and around the
world. Students receive a thorough grounding in the
key management disciplines, subjects and issues
with an emphasis on applying their knowledge
ethically and responsibly.

Multi-dimensional Immersion
Experience
The idea of immersion is to get students to dive into real-life environments and
explore learning for themselves.

Analytics
Technology has placed torrents of data in the hands of
managers making Analytics indispensable in decisionmaking. IIMU has made significant investments into
building the analytical capabilities of students by developing
infrastructure (our state-of-the-art Bloomberg and Analytics
Lab) and introducing innovatively re-designed courses.

Entrepreneurship
The fourth area of focus at IIM Udaipur is Entrepreneurship.
IIMU aims to facilitate and encourage entrepreneurship on
multiple dimensions. Intensive mentoring and support,
theoretical and practical coursework and flexible career
development options ensure that students have the freedom
to explore their entrepreneurial ambitions.

A Global Perspective
IIMU strongly believes that leaders are best developed
in a multi-cultural environment. Many of IIMU's faculty
have earned their research credentials from top schools
across India, North America and Europe. Almost 60%
of the students take advantage of one of the numerous
options to study or work abroad for periods ranging
from two weeks to three months during the course of
their two year programme. The international exposure
increases their understanding of the impact of cultural
values and local laws, and widens their personal and
intellectual horizons. Opportunities include:
International Corporate Internship

After completing their first year of studies, students undertake a mandatory
Corporate Internship, an experiential learning opportunity at a company
location, either in India or internationally in locations that have included Dubai,
Qatar, London and Malaysia. It is a chance to apply the academic theories and
concepts they have learned to real issues faced by organisations.

International Business in Practice (IBP)
Student Exchange Programme
Global Business Project (GBP)

The International Business in Practice Course is a unique second year elective
that gives more than one third of the students the chance to work for two
weeks on a live business problem in a company in another South Asian country
or the Middle East.
We believe it is essential for future managers to understand rural India. PGP's
compulsory Rural Immersion starts with a course on the Indian Social and
Political Environment and continues with the students spending a week in a
village where they work closely with NGOs to appreciate on-the-ground
realities and challenges faced by those at the bottom of the pyramid.
As part of Coursework Immersion, we have structured processes in the
curriculum that concentrate on sharpening students' teamwork and leadership
skills

Pedagogy
The PGP's first year is designed to create a solid foundation in management
fundamentals. This is followed by a two month Corporate Internship where
students get an opportunity to apply their academic learning in a real-world
environment. The second year allows students to choose from a range of
electives to align with their career goals and personal interests.
In the classroom, IIMU uses a case-based learning approach. The case
method brings real life into the classroom and encourages students to
participate actively in their own learning. The case method is
complemented by seminars, simulation games, role-playing, guest lectures
and multiple group exercises. Group activities range from working on group
assignments and case presentations to working on live industry projects.
Study groups are composed of students from diverse academic, cultural and
professional backgrounds ensuring that many perspectives of looking at a
particular task or problem are brought to the table for discussion.

Essentials
of the IIMU
Experience
The students are offered a range
of resources and features to
ensure they get the most out of
their PGP experience.

This kind of group work helps the students to probe into each other's
assumptions and hypotheses, engage in horizontal learning and critical
thinking, and learn how to build consensus and recommendations for
action. For each concept and theory covered in class there is an attempt to
incorporate an immersive learning experience outside the class. Students
are challenged to adapt, negotiate and problem-solve while developing
their interpersonal and communication skills – essential preparation for
their futures as professionals in management positions.

Mentorship Programmes
The Career Mentorship Programme is designed
to encourage students to think critically,
communicate effectively and respect each
other – essential elements of corporate
professionalism. This is executed through
focused small group discussions of varying
complexity using visual and textual stimuli
drawn from the widest spectrum possible.

Global Business Project (GBP)
The GBP is a unique, four month actionbased learning course with participation
from twelve leading universities across the
globe. For each project, a team of 5-6
students from across geographies works on
a general consulting and strategic problem
for some of the most prominent
multinationals including P&G, GE
Healthcare, Google and PepsiCo among
others.

The Professional Mentorship Programme allows
students to benefit from the support of recent
graduates of the top four Indian management
institutions. These young alumni are able to
connect with 2 to 3 mentees in a relaxed and
informal manner and counsel them on how to
make the most of their PGP experience.
The Faculty Mentorship Programme assigns
each student to a faculty member who
provides guidance and counseling on topics
relating to academics and other aspects of
student life.

The GBP gives IIMU students an
opportunity to work with fellow MBAs from
different backgrounds, countries and
schools in a virtual and face-to-face team
setting. They apply functional, crosscultural, foreign language and virtual
teamwork skills to produce strategic advice
that is focused, compelling and actionable.

10-11

Bloomberg Lab
The Bloomberg Lab at IIMU exposes students
to the Bloomberg Professional Service, the
most powerful and popular platform for
financial professionals. Students have the
opportunity to complete one or more sections
of the Bloomberg Essentials Online Training
Programme that gives them mastery over the
range of tools and research resources
Bloomberg provides in areas such as equities,
money markets, foreign exchange,
commodities, and derivatives. It ensures their
financial technology skills in trading and
investing are up-to-date and competitive.
An IIMU student ranked in the top five in Asia
last year and was inducted into the Hall of
Fame of the Bloomberg Training Programme.

Leadership and Emotional Intelligence
Initiative
The Emotional and Social Competency
Inventory is a product of the collaboration
between internationally known psychologist
and author Daniel Goleman and Hay Group,
the global management consulting firm. This
online survey delivers a 360° assessment of an
individual's emotional and social behaviours –
a key instrument in helping students develop
the emotional intelligence they will need as
managers to lead and inspire others.
IIMU considers this an important aspect of
student development and is the first school in
India to adopt this innovative approach for all
students. It is administered to students twice,
at the beginning and the end of the
programme, and each student is assigned a
mentor to help him or her interpret the
evaluation and use it to improve behaviour and
performance and workplace effectiveness.

Mastering Math
Quantitative skills are a necessity for many
business school courses. At IIMU, learning
begins even before the first day of classes. In
the period before the course inauguration,
students are required to take the MBA Math
preparatory on-line course designed to hone
their quantitative skills in finance, accounting,
microeconomics, statistics and spreadsheets.
Students enter the PGP ready to get the most
out of courses requiring fluency in these
subjects from day one.

Up-skilling Written Communication
Mastery of clear and effective written
communication is one of the most under-rated
management skills in India. IIMU has
mandated the use of Grammarly, a powerful
online proofreader and grammar checker, for all
written assignments. This tool helps students
improve their grammar, word choice and
writing style.

Udaipur
Business.
Pleasure.

Udaipur, capital of the former princely state of Mewar, evokes
the same sense of heritage, beauty and grandeur as such
timeless destinations as Venice and Prague. This cradle of
culture and history is the perfect backdrop for IIM Udaipur.
Udaipur is also home to a multitude of mid-sized companies,
entrepreneurial ventures and dynamic NGOs that are making
Rajasthan a hub of economic and social change. IIMU has
established close ties with many of them for student
internships, research projects, case studies and guest lectures.
Udaipur is located about 400 km southwest of the state capital,
Jaipur, and 250 km northeast of Ahmedabad. It has several
daily direct flights from Mumbai and Delhi and frequent
connecting flights from Bangalore, Chennai and Kolkata. The
airport is a convenient 20 km from the city centre with reliable
prepaid taxi service.

Extraordinary
Extra-Curricular

Campus life at IIMU is vital and active with a plethora of
student clubs and committees. Academic and professional
clubs, cultural clubs, sports and hobby clubs, social outreach
– IIMU has it all. A number of student-run cells and
committees also facilitate activities throughout the year and
help students form lifelong bonds and relationships.

Functional Area Clubs
SKEIN – the SCM and Operations club
Marclan – the Marketing club
Finomina – the Finance club

Corporate Crossroads
At IIMU a priority is to ensure that practice meets theory across all functional
areas. Students have many opportunities to rub shoulders and match wits with
industry leaders throughout the year. These interactions are not limited to
internships, live projects and case discussions. The students organize and
moderate summits and panel discussions that bring together experts, thinkers
and practitioners from India and abroad. Students also benefit from intensive
mentoring by committed and enthusiastic industry professionals.

16-17

Recruitment
Process
IIMU's Corporate Relations Team of dedicated professionals oversees the recruitment process. Under
their supervision, the Student Placements Committee facilitates all interactions with the companies.
A Relationship Manager is assigned to be the specific point of contact for each company.
We encourage companies to visit our campus and conduct the entire process in person. When this is
not practical, Skype, video-conferencing and telephonic facilities are available.

Summer Internships
Starting October (first year)
Summer Internships are eight weeks long and take place during the months of April-May. They are a
mandatory requirement of the course.
Pre-placement Presentations
Companies have the option of engaging with
the students using pre-placement
presentations where they brief them about the
projects on offer.

Most companies also indicate the students whom they
want to keep on the waiting list, ensuring that both the
companies and the students are able to make the most
appropriate choice.

Schedule
The selection process typically begins in the
first week of October. Companies are invited
to campus based on their convenience and the
slot is decided after discussion with the
Student Placements Committee.

Post-placement Process
Companies send official letters to the candidates through
the Student Placements Committee. The HR managers
then take over and connect the candidates to their project
mentors in the company and take them through the
induction process.

Placement Process
Typically, the process begins with shortlisting
based on the resumes of the students. This is
usually followed by group processes like GDs,
case studies or written tests, depending on a
company's selection policy. The final
selections are generally based on one or more
rounds of personal interviews. The companies
provide a list of the selected students to the
Student Placements Committee.

Summer Internship Review
IIMU is committed to ensuring that students deliver their
best performance during the internships. There are three
reviews: one at the end of the second week; one midway
through; and one at the end of the project.
Pre-placement Offers
Companies have the opportunity to make final job offers to
candidates who perform exceptionally well in the
internships before the start of the final placement process.

Final Placements
Starting October
(second year)

The Final Placements process is when students are evaluated by
prospective recruiters. Students with relevant work experience are
generally considered for lateral positions.
Pre-placement Presentations
Companies have the option of using a pre-placement presentation to give
students information about their business, vision, work culture and the roles
and opportunities available, followed by a Q&A session.
Schedule
The selection process typically begins in the last week of October. Companies
are invited to campus based on their convenience and the slot is decided after
discussion with the Student Placements Committee.
Placement Process
Interested students apply to the company and submit their resumes through
the Student Placements Committee. The selection process generally consists
of resume-based shortlisting and one or more rounds of personal interviews.
Offers, including details of role, location, compensation and other relevant
terms and conditions, must be conveyed to the candidate through the Student
Placements Committee. The placement process is governed by the PGP
placement rules.
Post-placement Process
Once a company has made an offer as part of the campus placement process, a
candidate is bound to accept/reject the offer within a stipulated timeframe.
When a candidate accepts an offer, he/she automatically opts out of the
placement process and ceases to be part of the pool of candidates available to
companies.
The candidates are made the offer conditional to their successful completion of
the course. The HR managers at the respective companies then take over to
guide candidates through the induction and joining process.
